The novel We by Evegeni Zamiatin inaugurates a subgenre of the dystopic novel, which will be followed by A. Huxley’s A Brave New World, G. Orwell’s 1984 and R. Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Written 3 years after the Russian Revolution, the novel can be read in many senses as a warning against the taylorist techniques that were being introduced into the new socialist state. At the same time, it is a warning against the “cul-de-sac”, according to the author into which taylorism was leading Western Europe. The present work will explore the themes of rational efficiency and freedom in relation to the problematics of the Scientific Organization of Labor and the constitution of a Socialist State as a continuation, in many aspects represented in the novel, such as for example religious imagery, of the modern bourgeois state as it is described by C. Schmitt in his book on the Hobbes’ Leviathan.
